In 1963, Les Gilmour donated a medal in recognition of Jim McConaghy's long and faithful contribution to the game of lacrosse. It is presented to the most outstanding player (MVP) during each Minto Cup series. In 1990, the award was changed to a commemorative gold ring, which continues to be awarded to this day.
